    In the relation p = \[\frac{\alpha }{\beta }{{e}^{-\frac{\alpha z}{k\theta }}}p\]is pressure, z is distance, k is Boltzmann constant and \[\theta \]is the temperature. The dimensional formula of P will be

    A) [M0 L2 T0]                            

    B) [ML2T]

    C) [ML0 T-1]                              

    D) [M0 L2 T-1]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In the given equation, \[\frac{\alpha z}{k\theta }\]should be dimensionless. \[\therefore \]       \[\alpha =\frac{k\theta }{z}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[[\alpha ]=\frac{[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}{{K}^{-1}}]\times [K]}{[L]}=[ML{{T}^{-2}}]\]and    \[p=\frac{\alpha }{\beta }\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[[\beta ]=\left[ \frac{\alpha }{p} \right]=\frac{[ML{{T}^{-2}}]}{[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}]}=[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{0}}]\]
